|Assume that the sales forecast for brand TOJO is 160,000 units, and that you expect to sell 50% of these units through mass merchandisers, 25% via specialty |
|stores, and 25% through online stores. As the brand manager, you have specified a retail price of $300. The unit transfer cost is $109. You plan to spend $2.2 |
|million on media placement and advertising research, and another $1.8 million on the commercial team. |
|Based on the information provided calculate the anticipated “contribution after marketing” next period for brand TOJO. Show your work. 15 points. |

|160,000 x 300 = $48,000,000 Retail Sales |
|160,000 x 109 = $17,440,000 Unit Cost |
|48,000,000 – 17,440,000 = 30,560,000 Marketing Contribution |
|30,560,000 – 2,200,000 – 1,800,000 = $26,560,000 Contribution After Marketing |
